Canada’s reputation as a leader in high quality grain relies on growers following best practices with pesticides. Even the smallest amount of unacceptable residue can put future business at risk.
Follow these tips to avoid unacceptable residues:
1. Use acceptable pesticides only. Only use products that are registered for your crop and won’t cause concerns for customers.
2. Use pesticides correctly. Consult the label for proper rates and timing.
